1. The Conjuring
2. This Is The End
3. Pacific Rim
4. Star Trek Into Darkness
5. Man Of Steel
Only God Forgives would've topped my list, but I'm only counting films I saw in the theater, and that one I caught on VOD. I was torn between MOS or Iron Man 3, but ultimately picked MOS because it had a stronger villain and a better overall cast. I have not seen Elysium yet, but if it's halfway decent (which early reviews seem to indicate is the ceiling) then it'll probably knock off MOS.

Didn't Mud come out in early Spring? Unless coming out on home video in the summer makes it a summer movie now?

I saw it in June or late May in a theater here. So maybe it's not a summer, didn't pay attention to it's proper release schedule.

Sadly, I haven't seen five movie I liked this summer. If I listed them, I might as well be listing my worst movies of the year (in reverse!).

I didn't see many films this summer because most looked like crap to me and most of the ones I did see were.
1 Iron Man 3 (liked it)
2 World War Z (liked it)
Man Of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness were crap. I can't even remember seeing anything else.

1. This is the End
2. Star Trek into Darkness
3. Iron Man 3
4. Lone Ranger, The (Yeah, I really enjoyed it.)
5. Turbo
Haven't seen Elysium yet, but something tell me that would make my top five.
And yes, I have seen all the tentpoles... The two big ones, in everyones mind, just didn't impress me that much.

Re: Your Top 5 Movies of Summer 2013?
Release schedule is very varied but roughly:
1. Fruitvale Station
2. Mud
3. Before Midnight
4. The Hunt
5. Blue Jasmine
Followed by:
Only God Forgives
Frances Ha
These orders can switch around but that's the gist of it for me.

Lone Ranger would've been awesome if it was cut down maybe a half hour. I like the action but the non action parts were a little slow and dragged.
Iron Man 3
This Is The End
Elysium
were all pretty decent. Thanks to Netflix this may be the summer I've seen the fewest movies out and just binge watched Arrested Development, House of Cards, Maron, GoT, Hemlock Grove.
